R The Universal Medium Voltage Termination System
Over the last three decades, engi-
neers in utilities and industry around
the world have specified million’s of
Raychem cable terminations at
distribution voltages up to 36 kV.
Raychem terminations have become
identified with reliability because of
their unparalleled long-term perfor-
mance – where it really counts – in
the field. Today there are many
changes influencing the distribution
of power at medium voltages. For
example, the transition to new types
of polymeric cable, distribution at
higher voltages, and the widespread
usage of compact switchgear.
Anticipating these industry changes,
we have continued to extend and
improve the product range, based on
the extensive experiece both in the
field and at our outdoor test sites in
polluted and desert environments.
Now these developments are
incorporated in a new generation of
Raychem heat-shrinkable cable termi-
nations, that are even easier to select
and install, without compromising
the reliability of proven materials
technology. The improved system is
simple to use, because the basic ter-
mination components and installation
steps are the same – even if your net-
work operates with voltages of 7.2 to
36 kV; if you use 12 kV belted paper
cable and 24 kV water-blocked single
core polymeric cable; whether you
make equipment connections in a
cable box or in compact switchgear.
Let’s review the main advantages of
the improved system:

for Polymeric and Paper Insulated Cables
Universal Selection Procedure
• Simplifield selection table allows
quick selection based on conductor
cross section and voltage class for
either polymeric or MIND paper
insulated cables (For MI draining oil
cables, contact your local represen-
tative)
• Simple modification codes permit
easy specification of optional
accessory kits
• Enhanced range-taking ability
means that one kit fits more con-
ductor sizes, reducing stocking
requirements
• Unlimited shelf life allows stocking
of economic quantities without
product spoilage
Simplifield Cable Preparation
• Improved treatment of screen cut
back is compatible with all state of
the art screen removal techniques
• No tapering of insulation required
• No polishing of polymeric insulation
surface
• No special preparation of sectored,
or eccentric conductors, or of cable
that is curved after unreeling from
the cable drum
• Cable preparation steps are similar
to those for Raychem joints
Simplified Installation
• Components are lightweight and
non-shattering
• Clear instruction sheets
• Common installation procedure for
polymeric and MIND paper cables
• Factory engineered kit permits rapid
on-site installation
• No mechanical stress at insulation
screen cutback
• Termination accommodates same
bending radius as cable
• Visual confirmation of correct
assembly sequence possible after
installation
• Rain skirts can be installed to allow
either top or bottom feed
• No soldering of earthing accessories
required
Outstanding Long-Term Reliability
• Fully sealed against water ingress
from the environment or from within
the conductor strands
• Polymeric materials load cycle with
the cable without mechanically
stressing termination components
and sealants
• Unsurpassed performance in
polluted environments, proven
over three decades.

The Raychem termination system

is compatible with all types of
armoured cable.
The system includes a complete
range of solderless accessories for
earthing insulation screens and
cable armour and for grounding
lead sheaths. Also available are
insulators and support brackets,
insulating boots for equipment
connections and glands for easy
entry to cable boxes.
For more details please refer to the
EPKT (EPP-0282/2) and I(O)XSU-F
(EPP-0795 & 0782) Termination
brochures. You can ask for our
capability brochure (EPP-1102) that
exhibits all product families.
